It's just disappointing. I can understand that the shooters had to be limited but the few that accepted the targets knew what the rules were. In the pistol match, the people who asked for targets had a slot and had an obligation to shoot since others were turned away.
I made a comparison between Americans and people from other countries. Since we have a lot of disposable income, we buy a lot of toys. Too many times we become what we buy and at the same time, we don't take the time to master what we own.
I have a friend that buy stuff and keeps it only long enough to find out that he isn't good with what he bought and then he sells it. He's been married three times.

Ditto all that....... BTW, these matches are good for Freeper morale and comaraderie. It is good that Freepers fellowship with each other and it is healthy where they have common interests. We have many political and activist functions, why not good clean fun too. I'm pretty proud of my last Freeper pistol match scores and I probably would have been better ducking this match so as not to be seen as a crappy rifle shot, but I said I'd do it and I did it and I'm glad regardless of where I place. I may not compete in all upcoming matches, but I hope there will be many more.
